| Joseph Coleman aka Rapper L'il JoJo |
It's been a week now since the brutal murder of yet another aspiring rapper. We've seen L'il Phat shot to death 20 times, Slim Dunkin over a piece of candy, Poppa C shot dead outside Trae the Truth's concert and even Abdulle Elmi shot dead and thrown in the middle of a residential street at 4am in Toronto. Why does this keep happening in the industry?
First I don't like the fact that L'il JoJo was involved in a beef, then a gang affiliated beef and then holding a Tech9 and a Glock does not make matters better. This is the kinda shyt going on in Toronto's Mount Olive and Jamestown and the Galloway sections. Young street rappers with obvious talent start beefing over record deals, territory and more shyt!
They use social media so heavily to promote their beef messages.I am almost 50 and I got two children that rap and a nephew, all talented. These are mere kids who are using YouTube and Twitter to fuel the fire. Are gang investigatiors looking into these
JoJo real name Joseph
Coleman had been feuding with rival rappers Lil Reese, Lil Durk and
Chief Keef as well as with the Black Disciple street gang for months
before he was fatally shot at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday near Chicago's 69th and Princeton in the Englewood neighborhood.
Then there's the whole Chief Keef tweet that read “Its Sad Cuz Dat N---- Jojo Wanted To Be Jus Like Us #LMAO.”
Police are now looking at those tweets.
Chief Keep now called out Lupe Fiasco who also grew up in the same hood. What a mess! OR should I say what a fiasco!! Now 50 Cent has tweeted to Keef to come see him. FOR WHAT?? OMG! These rappers need leashes today.
Witnesses said Coleman, 18, was riding
double on a bike standing on the back when a car pulled up and
someone fired six or seven shots. Coleman ran but was hit in the back
before making it to a nearby home, where he later died outside as people
screamed “JoJo!” witnesses said.
A witness said the shots came from an tan, older model, four-door Ford Taurus that was riding low in the back. After Coleman collapsed, people came to
his aid. There was little blood, but Coleman’s eyes were dilated, cold
and fixed. “It was the like the look of death,” another witness said.
When asked if he could hear them,
Coleman attempted to nod. Paramedics arrived about 10 minutes later,
witnesses said, and Coleman was still breathing and gurgling. But he
later died.
Police are still looking for the KILLER! It is time we stop all this GUN VIOLENCE in music and that is one of my HipHossip initiatives. Use my hashtag #EndGunViolence and tweet this story. Another young rapper gone--MsKemi
